How To Hold a Knife


Handling your knife properly is your first concern.

1. Hold the item to be cut with your fingertips tucked under and your thumb benind them.

2. The blade "rests" and slides directly against the middle section of your fingers.

3. As you chop, the knife follows, in fact, "glued" to the fingers, and it slides up and down the fingers at the same rate all the time.

4. The speed at which the fingers move back determines the thickness of the slices.
